WELCOME
The Wrangell Mountains Center is based in McCarthy, Alaska, surrounded by our nation's largest National Park, Wrangell-St. Elias, and just minutes from the toe of the Kennicott Glacier. Serving students, writers, artists, scientists, travelers, and local citizens, our educational programs and community workshops deepen our appreciation of this place, inspire, and connect us to the natural world and each other. We create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to explore, express themselves, and be transformed through direct experience with this extraordinary place… check out our 2026 programming calendar, and connect with us this summer!
Additionally, check out our 2024 Recap Video, to learn more about the amazing work the WMC has been doing for over four decades.
